Fitness Goals Update

 
My fitness goals are going alright although my running has come to a screetching halt due to knee pain (I tried to run again today but had to give up after 30 minutes and my knee is already freezing up *sigh*).

Ballet is going well - I went to the Saturday class that I struggled with for a second time an this time it went much smoother.

My greatest accomplishment is that I was able to get into the crooked limb sage yoga pose (see below) - not one of the inversions I wanted to work on but an accomplishment anyways. I am able to hold forearm stand and handstand for a few seconds but not long enough for me to be able to say I mastered them yet. Next steps are side crow with extended legs, hurdler (which I can't even get into), and more stable forearm stand and handstand.

Ballet Update

 
Ballet class number 2 was a success! This teacher was amazing - answered any questions we had, explained everything, was really nice - and there were only 3 of us in the class so there was a lot of 1:1 attention. Also I felt like I got a much better workout - I can't wait to go back!

Cute ballet outfits here I come!

Ballet

 
I bought some ballet slippers today and tomorrow morning I am going to take my first adult ballet class. I am really nervous about it (especially since I am going alone), hopefully I won't be the most uncoordinated person there.

I am going to Denver Dance Center. They seemed like the best place for adult classes.
